It begins by providing a look into the complimentary field of research and ground work in childhood development and trauma. Next we delve into two nuanced topics: child sexual abuse in Latin@ communities and addressing sexual development for children.

<div class="field field-name-field-pub-description field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> <p>This report exposes the ways in which we criminalize girls in the United States— especially girls of color — who have been sexually and physically abused, and it offers policy recommendations to dismantle the abuse to prison pipeline. It illustrates the pipeline with examples, including the detention of girls who are victims of sex trafficking, girls who run away or become truant because of abuse they experience, and girls who cross into juvenile justice from the child welfare system. By illuminating both the problem and potential solutions, the authors hope to make the first step toward ending the cycle of victimization-to-imprisonment for marginalized girls.</p> </div></div></div>Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:35:29 +0000slaskey23038 at http://nsvrc.orgPrincipales hallazgos del estudio ‘La victimización mediante violencia sexual y sus asociaciones con la salud en una muestra comunitaria de mujeres hispanas’http://nsvrc.org/publications/en-espanol-nsvrc-publications-research-briefs/principales-hallazgos-del-estudio-la
